Hello Roberto,

I'm still looking the technical name of that weird TCP over Serial stack,
but I can say that I remember the Operations Console "dialing" a
connections and the two computers of a network connection appearing next to
the clock when in use.
Here's a doc that more or less says the same but doesn't mention the name:
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/running-operations-console-vista-or-windows-7-or-8

Ah, I found some hints:

Operation Console support for Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1
• Only Operations Console LAN attach is supported.
• Direct connect (serial attached) is not supported; no support is planned for future releases.

Apparently Operation Console comes in two flavors. I've not been aware of that. I guess the former is what nowadays is called "LAN Console"?

I'm only interested in direct connect over serial for now. That's what people with older hardware — like the OP — need most.

:wq! PoC
